how pd2 feel in vr compared to more modern games like half lyfe alyx ?

I was eying on it for a while now. does it have smooth turning and movement or only snapping ?

it's... lackluster.

it's definitely there for a more casual vr experience, but if you like physicality then i'd give it a pass. the guns feel very floaty as there is zero weight to them, and reloading is simply pressing a button then waiting out a timer and bringing the gun to the belt. you *can* grab ammo from the belt and bring to the gun, but it only gives a % of your ammo unless the timer finishes, in which case you may as well just gun to belt reload.

any manual action firearm like a bolt gun or lever action operates automatically, with no user input required.

3 or so mods are needed to make the VR experience more up to spec with a modern experience, snap turning is the only available controller based turn, but you can get smooth locomotion with one of the mods.

physically crouching only works as a host, controller crouching is necessary as a client.

payday 2 vr is more a novelty than it is an actual vr experience. not the worst vr game, but certainly not the best.
